How Bad Will the Tribulation Be?

Some people might not grasp exactly how bad the coming Tribulation might be.  Here is an article I found outlining what to expect if you're left behind at the Rapture.  It's quite...chilling as to exactly how many people DIE.

And yes, despite Harold Camping's crazy failed prediction, the Rapture is still imminent.  Christ will Rapture His Bride on HIS time table, not on the whim of some crazy false prophet.  In fact, this whole "Rapture" hubbub has actually made the scoffers all the louder, further fulfilling 2 Peter 3:3-4, and now, I truly believe the Rapture WILL come as a thief in the night to most of the world, since no one will believe it's coming after so many people have famously cried wolf.

Jesus IS coming for us. Do not be fooled by false prophets, so that no man may take your crown.  (Revelation 3:11)

John 14:2-3:

2"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."


Amen, Lord Jesus.  Come quickly.

Timeline of Future Eclipses

I found a resource online that outlines the future eclipses for the next few years.  This person believes the Tribulation is right around the corner, and that the information he's found regarding the eclipses is spot on with what prophecy mentions.

I thought it was fascinating, so I thought I would share.  (Click picture for a bigger image)

It's Time to Pray for Netanyahu



As we pray for Israel and Jerusalem to have peace, we must also pray for their leader, Benjamin Netanyahu. This man is "waging war" against the entire world. Pray he does not lose his ground. Pray nothing happens to the man.

Saying he rejects Obama's "peace" proposal to Obama's face took some chutzpah. Well done, Mr. Prime Minister.

Reducing Israel to an 8 mile wide strip of land is insanity. INSANITY!! Especially with a horde of Arab enemies at your doorstep!

Pray, folks, pray!

President Obama's Speech

Our president publicly announced today his endorsement for Israel to divide their land.  My face is in my palm right now.

Israel is the apple of God's eye.  You do NOT mess with them.  There is a God in Heaven, and He fights for them!  Especially now, since they've returned to their land.

Since Obama's announcement, there has been a 6.0 earthquake in Turkey and a 6.0 in Japan, followed by a 4.9 aftershock in Turkey and another 4.9 earthquake in Crete, Greece.  There have been new, stronger rumblings in California today, as well as New Mexico, Oklahoma, & Missouri.

I believe this is just the beginning.  Since our president endorsed the two-state deal to 1967 borders, this means a divided Jerusalem.  Obama also said going before the UN in September won't make the PA a state, that it must be achieved by a peace treaty.  But dividing Israel will bring about Genesis 12:3, which reads:

"I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you."

Zechariah 12:3 & 9 states:

"3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves."

"9 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem."

It will NOT be well for the countries that go against Israel.  Since Obama just declared it and will actively pursue this route, America is no longer under the blessing of Almighty God.  Anything can happen now, folks.  Be prepared for more disasters coming harder and faster now.

Lord, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for Your chosen people of Israel.  Fight for them, Lord, as the Lion of the tribe of Judah!  And we also pray for America, that You temper Your wrath until You've stolen Your Church as a thief in the night.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.

Revelation--The Unveiling

Michael Card is a pillar of Christian Music. I have loved his music for nearly 20 years. This video is a fan-made video for a song he wrote about the Second Coming of Christ. The beginning is a "Prelude", and about halfway through, the song entitled "The Unveiling" starts.

When we look for art about Christ, we rarely search for art on the book of Revelation. We're familiar with art about the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, but that's about it. I love this video, because the person who made it found art for the 24 elders casting their crowns, the angels with the bowls of God's judgment, and even a lovely picture of Christ returning for His Bride, where her "gown" is made up of every member of His church.

In watching this video, I've got to ask myself how can ANY Christian be lukewarm about the Second Coming of Christ? How can you not be jazzed and excited for it? Should you be any LESS excited just because you might not be one of those "who are alive and remain"? Should you not care just because you live a long life and Christ might not come before you die?

Absolutely not!

The resurrection of Christ is THE event that makes our faith rock solid, that when He was raised, it proved everything He'd said about Himself was true--endorsed by God the Father Himself. Therefore, OUR resurrection should also be as moving and as powerful as His, for He holds the keys of Death. Whether we "are alive and remain" when He comes, or "asleep" in death, the Blessed Hope of the Second Coming should still give us excitement and joy.

Just because He hasn't returned in 2,000 years doesn't give us an excuse to fall asleep at our post. We must be watching, we must be ready. As the Apostle Paul said, we are closer to that day NOW than when we'd first believed. And how much closer are we AT THIS MOMENT than when Paul lived and breathed?

I hope you enjoy the video and entertain the thought that since no man knows the day nor the hour, we should therefore ever be ready to fly with Christ at a moment's notice, and not let the cares or concerns of this life hold us back from looking up.

Like an excited child who stands dutifully, gazing out the window as they watch for daddy to come home, so too should we have the faith and excitement of a child who's been promised that their Savior is returning! Hallelujah!
